Title: New Logo!!!
Post by: JakeWorrell on December 25, 2011, 12:10:19 AM
Merry Christmas everyone!!

SO! It has been fully revealed. Here is the link just for reference //http://frostmusic.net/advent/images/logo2012.png

No doubt there will be opinions, heres mine:

I love it, very modern which is no doubt deliberate in order to reflect elements of the F*** sound.

but what do YOU think?

I think it would look lovely sliced into 20 chunks and shuffled up randomly (//http://frostmusic.net/advent/popups/puzzle.html).  :mrgreen:

It has a very Star Trekky SciFi look to it, thats just my take on it.
Right off onto Amazon to purchase some Spock fake ears. :lol:

Love it. iPhone skin ordered already. It'll look great on a tshirt too. I wonder if they've thought of that??? ;)

Agreed, Fogey. The two fonts together prompted me to describe it as Batman: The Next Generation, with the swirling dust reminding me a bit of the stuff that comes out of The Doctor when he regenerates. There's also a computer-y aspect to it, which I imagine will lend itself well to the new Frost* sound.

Loving the new logo. HAs already made it to both phone and laptop as wallpaper, and can see it makeing some nice tshirts.
If only there was someone in our midst with a tshirt/merchandise business that could make these thoughts a reality  ;)  ;)

not to give away Vitamin P's wild trade secrets, but never mind that, did you know that swirly dust is actually a fractal most likely generated using a program called Apophysis (//http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/01/40-amazing-3d-fractals-using-apophysis/)? it's really a neat tool, and i got all giddy with excitement when i saw Vit P had used it in the new Frost* logo. and did a damn tasteful job of it as well!

I bloody love the new logo. Absolutely bloody love it. Vit P does it again, the talented git.

If it does make its way onto a T-shirt (If? If?!), I'd love to see it on material other than black (the base colour of every prog shirt in the world  :lol: ). Maybe white, or a nice cool blue? I reckon it would still look ace on lighter backgrounds.  :)

Re t-shirt colours - frost have over the years produced many different coloured shirts (my own fave being the white with black sleeves!!)

Also noticed yesterday that the new logo is a 'progression' from the one on the original EIMA shirts (I've got the blue with big yellow frosterisk on the front).

I'd also like to put in a vote for some more of the 'faux' long sleeve shirts (the ones which look like a regular tshirt over the top of a different coloured long sleeve shirt) 8-)

Edit.... In fact, a bit like the one on my avatar pic!

Are you sure?? To me it's either a screendump from the Hadron Collider or it was inspired by the accidental placement of an LED key ring in a washing machine.  ;)  :D

LOVE the new logo! Another work of genius by the lovely Mr VitP!

I may not have much room in the wardrobe but I do want a t-shirt with this on it...

Another idea which I personally would partake of, would be a nice black coffee mug adorned with the new logo. 8-)

Now, if only we knew of a merchndise company that could supply our Frost* logo'd needs..................

Calling Nellie, Nellie to thread please!!! :D  :lol:

And a Frost* mobile, maybe a deal with Mercedes could make it happen. Just replace the star with the asterisk.  8-)

I like the new logo, but it reminded me of the Fear Factory one: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y166/Z ... arism3.jpg (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y166/Zenial/lsd/artworka-i/big/fearism3.jpg)

Dont like it at all!!! looks cheap and nasty :) Sorry :( But then its the music that counts right... they can wrap it up in a co-op carrier bag as long as it sounds good.... Milliontown good that is :)
Title: Re: New Logo!!!

Fair enough, it stands to reason that it won't appeal to all of the masses.
You're darn right about the music tho. :)

Like the new logo a lot although it has a decidedly computergame / Xbox / PS3 vibe to it. It is something that I somehow associated with those "Colinwhatshisname" rally driver games

Hey everyone! My name is Anton and I write these letters from a cold and snowy Russian depths! Excuse me for my English it is far from perfection.
 So I really like the new logo. Looks cool  8-)  But one thing bugs me about it. Few weeks after I saw it one of my friends in facebook (she is a dupstep fan ) puts a link to the band called AllDegrees. Song was Quasar. Here it is on the youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExPXpRTh ... BL_q3wxRY9 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExPXpRThDDU&context=C3652b12ADOEgsToPDskK7b8nDniW3JGBL_q3wxRY9)

As you can see it's very similar to Frost* new logo.
But it was a surprise to me when I turned that image upside-down and mirrored it.

[attachment=0:1bx4z8zw]frost2.jpg[/attachment:1bx4z8zw]

It's the SAME fractal pattern or whatever it is. Same circle in the middle. Just a different colour.
And it seems like this dupstep band realised album in 2011-11-15 the time when maybe frost logo was designed.
So I just want to know if this is OK or not? Mr. Jem maybe you overpaid for the design?  ;)  
Or maybe there is just something I don't know?
Title: Re: New Logo!!!
Post by: Pedro on January 14, 2012, 10:26:18 PM
My guess is that the "fractal" image, or whatever is, is just a stock image somewhere that VitaminP (the designer) has re-purposed for the logo.
I'm not really sure if the swirly bit is part of the logo, or the circle for that matter. Maybe the logo is just the "F"?

I suppose it is like when someone writes a piece of music and someone else spots that it sounds like another piece.
Or, like has happened with tracks on Milliontown, Jem has used an audio sample from somewhere and someone else has heard it used elsewhere. I guess this just happens from time to time.

But well done for spotting it....and welcome to the board! Don't worry about your English, my first language is gibberish! :)

Yeah this is *very* common. And I agree that the logo is probably either just the F or and F with a circle around it.

I have a weird relationship with dubstep. I like it but can never listen to it for more than a few seconds at a time. I think of it rather like E.S.'s synth porn.

Thanks guys  :D

Was my first thought too. But you know I think if both images were made by one guy (and the way the fractal image was changed gives me that idea) he kinda cheated. Because both images are album covers(?) for the music groups. Even if it's not a part of the final version of the image, it's there, on bands official page. It's not my idea of a perfect designer work. I know it's not a big deal though.

But you know it was just one of those weird coincidences to share) It was one chance in a million that I would see that other picture)))

I guess we have another case of "Spock's Beard - V"  vs.  "Symphony X - V" (sort of), although these ALSO had the same album title...
